A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update this story..But since I Need You has ended, I'm finally gonna continue! I want to thank you all for your feedback, and because you wanted me to continue, here's the 2nd part!
It was after Christmas and winter break had finished, so Rachel had to go to school again today. But different this time was that Finn wouldn't come to pick her up. In fact, he hadn't picked her up for weeks. Actually, they've barely talked the past few weeks. Rachel hated it. She hated the fact that he was constantly with his new girlfriend, Quinn. Ever since those two started dating Finn barely talked to her anymore. Probably because Quinn hated her. But Rachel hated Quinn too so they were equal there.
Rachel really missed him, though. They used to talk on the phone for hours. Or Finn would sleep over at her place, or she at his. They did almost everything together, and now it was over.
The good thing was that Rachel had her own car now, and she could drive. So she could go to school alone. It wasn't like she didn't have friends, she had friends. The glee club. They had become really good friends who hang out together, even after school. But the stupid thing was that they were the losers of the school. So nobody else hung out with them.
Rachel arrived at school where Kurt was already waiting for her. ''Rachel!'' He greeted her as he hugged her.
''Hi Kurt.'' Rachel smiled back.
She saw Finn. He was making his way to his locker, which was just a few feet away from hers. She hesitated to go over there and say hi, but she didn't. He probably wouldn't appreciate it. Gosh, he had changed so much.
''Don't worry about him..'' Kurt said as he noticed Rachel staring at Finn. ''He's not worth being your friend if he acts like this to you.''
''I miss him..'' Rachel confessed.
''I know, Rach. But that bitch has him now, and she holds him away from you.''
''Yeah..I just shouldn't worry about him anymore. We were friends. And now it's over. Deal with it.''
Rachel noticed Quinn with a big cup of slushie in her hand. She frowned when she noticed Quinn was walking directly towards Rachel. Before Rachel knew it, Quinn had thrown the slushie all over Rachel.
''Quinn, what the hell was that?'' Kurt asked angrily.
''Something she deserves..'' Quinn smiled meanly.
''Quinn, what the hell?'' Finn said as he appeared behind Rachel. ''Are you insane?!''
''This is high school, Finn. Things like this happen..''
''Not to Rachel. How dare you to throw that at her!?'' Finn said angrily. ''Who does something like that!?''
''She's in glee club, Finn.''
''Who cares! You know what, we're done.''
''What?!'' Quinn raised her eyebrows in disbelief. ''Are you breaking up with me?''
''Yes, Quinn. I don't want a girlfriend who throws a slushie at my best friend!''
''Fine. It wouldn't work out anyway.'' Quinn said before walking away.
''Rach, are you okay?'' Finn asked her concerned. ''I'm so sorry about that..''
''It's not your fault..and I'm not really okay, it hurts in my eyes.'' Rachel said.
Finn wrapped his arm around her shoulders and took her to the girls' bathroom. ''Try to rub it out off your eyes with some water..maybe that helps…''
''Finn..'' Rachel pushed him away a little. ''What are you doing? You haven't spoken to me in like 5 weeks..''
''I know..'' Finn sighed. ''And I'm so sorry, Rachel. I just..I'm sorry. I really miss you, though..''
''I miss you too, Finn. I miss us hanging out together, us talking, having fun..it seems like high school has changed our friendship.''
''I don't want that…can't we forget everything from these past weeks and just continue with our friendship..because that's what I want..''
Rachel smiled. ''I want that too.''
Finn took her in a hug. ''Great.'' He smirked. ''You know why don't you come to my house after school, like we used to do. I'm sure you can stay for dinner too.''
''That would be wonderful! But I do have glee club first..why don't you come with me!?'' Rachel beamed.
''To glee club? Rachel, we both know I can't dance..and I can't sing either..''
''You can sing. And you don't have to dance.''
''How do you know I can sing?''
''Because, you always sing in the shower. And you're pretty good, I can know because I'm pretty good myself.''
Finn grinned. ''Really? So every time I shower, you're at the door listening?''
Rachel laughed. ''Not at the door! But I do listen. It's cool to hear you sing.''
''You know what, I'll come along..but I'm not sure if I'm gonna sing..''
Rachel smiled accomplished. ''Yay!'' She laughed. ''I'm sure you'll love it! Maybe you can even join glee club?! If you want then..''
''We'll see.'' Finn laughed. ''Anyway, how are your eyes?''
''Better, but it still hurts though…I'm really sure for you and Quinn..you didn't have to do that..''
''She's a bitch anyway. And if someone hurts you, I'm gonna kick their ass. I'm like your guard, I protect you because I care about you.''
Rachel couldn't help but have this weird feeling in her stomach after he said that. It was a little, happy feeling that she hadn't had before..but she didn't know what it was.
''You're sweet, Finn. And thank you. For helping me out.''
''Anytime, Rach. Anytime.''
